P1000 Side hilling angle of the dangle

[trigger]

I'm still learning the limitations of my machine, i don't do very much technical stuff just for hunting mainly. I haven't taken off the rear sway bar yet as others have but got me wondering, once the sway bar is removed, does that help keep the front wheels on the ground through some of the technical twisting stuff ????

Find a place with a bunch of small obstacles. There's a sand scramble area not far from a trail head around here that has small, steep hills and a bunch of off camber sections. Testing my machine's limitations on a smaller scale and in a controlled environment is the best thing I ever did. You'll know when it's at the pucker point.

No no no no…that’s the time to release the bbrrraaaapppp!

These were my first rides ever in a SxS. @Lil_Steve learning what you can, and cannot, do in a SxS, also his first rides. I'm the smart one casting a shadow in the lower left, taking pictures. 😎

There is something about this whole thread that is “Upsetting “ to me.

What exactly are you asking?
If you mean keeping all 4 wheels on the ground in small bumps then yes.
But the thread is about side hill angle.
Disconnecting the sway bar will put you on your lid sooner.

One of the guys in here has a light winch he can mount on either side of the cage to hold him up while side-hilling

The P1000 states 36* but that seems like a static number. realistically what degree of off camber side hilling is considered safe before a flop or rollover with stock vehicle?

I knew I went to far when the horizon was perpendicular, the cooler hit me in the head, I was doused with ice and water, and my beer was rolling down the hill…..

Spit my beer on the keyboard rite der, I did. ROFL

i use the lev -o - gauge. i went out and tested different angles and what not to see where im comfortable. knock on wood i have not tipped this machine yet. done it plenty of times with a ranger but you know, gotta learn on junk first. theres no set in stone number. go with what ya feel!

One of the areas that i guide in has a chitty spot where you have to climb an off camber rock basically, in doing so the right front wheel comes off the ground about a foot. Just thought i'd ask the question if removing the sway bar would help in that particular situation.

My guess without the bar, the left rear wheel would compress even more. Possibly resulting in a rollover.

As mentioned before, just give it more bbrrraaaapppp!

You could always test with a couple of friends in a parking lot lifting from the side and a safety strap to the ROPS so you could note the angle when it broke over. But as they've said above, it's all different when you are nose down or nose up - or the worst is you break traction, slip and bounce a bit and then it's over (and sometimes over and over again).
You should search youtube for UTV fails and rollovers. That will give you a sense of how it happens.

I’ve never measured it but when it starts to feel light and it’s teetering you’ll know.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the variables. The maximum angle is directly proportional to the amount of counterbalance in the passenger seat.
